[Q]SuperCharger V6

Pls have someone of you tried the supercharger v6 script? What was the result? Was it easy to install?
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk

its great. i installed it when still in stock and still using it with neoblaze kernel.
its already fast even without the oc kernel. you wont see higher number on benchmark apps. but you will feel the difference.
this is from the supercharger thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
Requirements:
1. Rooted Phone....
2. Script Manager or Terminal Emulator to run the script. Stock ROMs can also use SM to load up boot scripts!
3. Busybox 1.18.2 OR LOWER - 1.18.3 or newer are VERY much a hassle with errors that should NOT be errors!
4. AutoStart Script by me - Enables Stock ROMS (Milestone) to utilize etc/init.d for boot scripts.
Installing/Using:
1. Download the attached V6_SuperCharger_for_Android*.txt script and save to your sdcard.
... Do NOT run the V6 SuperCharger install script at boot!
2. Load the script (V6_SuperCharger_for_Android*.txt) into Script Manager and select "Run as Root."
3. Touch the screen for the soft keyboard or slide out the keyboard and get SuperCharged! Just pick an option!
4. READ the script's output!
5. Afterwards, READ the html HELP FILE in the root of your SD Card!
6. Disable "Lock Home in Memory" if your ROM has this option.
7. Optional: For a quick status check, you can put a Script Manager widget for V6 SuperCharger on you desktop
for me, i use the 11th option (oom grouping fixes + hard to kill launcher) then reboot.

cyanogen doesent need the autostarter script ore does it?

Ok,thanks. I am running it now too and it feels really faster

Hi, may i know which option did you choose? I chose the 8th one(the MAX one) but i don't feel such many differences...

If my memory is correct, i used the option 7, max RAM 512 and hard to kill launcher

It is also for CyanogenMod 7?

Downloads are dead. Is this mod like fast charging support? For example, does it unmount the sd card from being read externally on a pc and treat the USB port as a wall adapter to pull out maximum amperage instead of being limited to USB spec?

This mod is for maintaining more available ram by killing services. It increases performance, and prevents battery drain from unused programs
:/ Nothing to do with the sd or charging :/
:screwy: Look it up :screwy:

Link to original authors supercharge scripts will be posted

So what part of "don't mirror my files" is confusing?

[GUIDE][Script][Tweaks] V6 SuperCharger for HTC Desire C

Desire C people!
This stuff is good. Probably you heard about it already, now I tried it and seems to work very well, especially the memory management. Quite a sophisticated tool as far as me noob understand ugh,ugh! :cyclops:
So basically a collection of kernel and memory management tweaks, but has a lot of other like SD card tweaks and maintenance scripts which you can also schedule with SManager. And the download page has some other useful stuff like 3G turbocharger and battery calibrator.
In all it seems like a must have for DC users.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
Once you used it a bit it's pretty straight forward and explains everything in details when running the script, and you have the option to "unsupercharge", but have a nandroid backup at hand.
I used two guides, but the first is for Galaxy and the second is less detailed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1603953
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908505
And for Desire C, check the post below
Many thanks for nikhil16242 for recommending me this, many scripts are in his Customiser already, he would have integrated the whole V6 Supercharger, but Aroma doesn't like it. That would be awesome though!
All credits to zeppelinrox for these truly awesome scripts:good:
One wonders why android doesn't have some of them by default.

V6 Supercharger Install Guide for Desire C
~ v6 supercharger install guide for desire c ~
aka how I have done it, so it's not an absolute one.
zeppelinrox's original thread is here.

It's the ONLY one of it's kind
NO LAUNCHER REDRAWS, faster than ever, multitasking is better... why?
Because it works with the lowmemorykiller and letting it work the way it's meant to work.
Also, because of the rearrangement, it works the same on all roms!
The problem with using minfree tweakers like AMM or AKMO is that it doesn't work the same on all roms.
Secondary apps may be in slot 3 on some roms but in slot 5 in others!
That's why you hear people comment "I tried AKMO but it didn't do anything..."
Most likely it didn't do anything because the apps weren't sitting where they were expected to be.
So fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride!

NOTE: Delete all conflicting scripts from init.d folder, otherwise it will be laggy and annoying!
Conflicting scripts I have found so far:
- all the thunderbolt except miuiCMremount (V6 does most of these like sd card tweaks and zipalign anyway)
- mpengine and laserdroid (also from /system and /xbit)
If you don't know which scripts are from where, unzip nikhil16242's Customiser and check the folders.
Also do not install everything on one breath. Do it gradually (v6 - nullifier - engine flush and so on), test with a demanding game like Temple Run, so you can opt out any possible problems.
What you need:
All V6 scripts are here.
ScriptManager [download]
- If you have stock ROM:
Download Supercharger Starter Kit from the V6 scripts, on the page it's explained how to use it, couldn't be more simple:
Using SuperCharger Starter Kit (Prepares your ROM with the fixed su binary, zipalign binary, sqlite3 binary and busybox v1.19.4... and does NOT include the V6 SuperCharger scipt):
- Extract the zip to the root of the sdcard and it will all be in /sdcard/SuperCharger_Starter_Kit
- With Script Manager, just run StartMeUp.sh to install everything at once.
- Or, in terminal do: su, enter, sh /sdcard/Super*/Start*
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All the rest is the same as the following:
- If you are on custom ROM:
then busybox is already installed, so you don't need the starter kit.
I. SUPERCHARGER INITIAL SETUP
The script guides you through the process, so watch it closely. In the setup it automatically determines some optimal settings, but you can change them any time.
Step 1. Put the latest V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-UpdateX_XXX (X is the actual version number) on your SD card
Step 2. In SManager:
--- 1. make sure you have granted SuperUser access, and set browse in root (long press recent apps button > Menu > Advanced > Configuration > Browse as root), but if you used before it's already set
--- 2. open the script on your SD card, set the properties to: Favorites (star icon), Root (green android skull icon) and tap Run to execute the script installer.
Step 3. A bunch of text start to come up, watch it closely, it guides you through the installer. Home Locked in Memory? n (No) and press enter and another enter to continue to drivers console.
First it goes to Pit Stop to set Driver Options, where you will be asked for Scroll Speed but also various tweaks which can improve the performance. Go through each and decide if you want them or not (I enabled most of them in he script)
When asks Use Build.Prop? : n (No) to use local.prop - I chose this, it sounds safer.
Step 4. You need to patch services.jar. It can be done automatically or manually (however the script recommends manual, and when I did it automatically for the first time, it did not backup services.jar and could not unsupercharge, only by restoring it from the rom .zip) Don't worry, doing it manually couldn't be easier:
In the Driver's Console choose:
25. Jelly ISCream Parlor {Install services.jar}​Choose manual mode, which will take you to the [RC9] ULTIMATIC RC6! [EXE]-=Ultimate Jar Power Tools=-With Maximum MultiTasking Mods! thread in your default browser, from which the essential instructions are the following:
--- 1. Connect your Android to your PC with Android Debugging ENABLED and Mass Storage DISABLED so your device has access to your sdcard. I just put it in Charge Only mode...
--- 2. Download the latest Ultimatic_Jar_Patcher_Tools_XXX_Windows.exe.zip to your PC - Windows exe is NOT zipped. Just remove the .zip extension!
--- 3. Start the exe and follow the instructions in the script. It will ask you which mode you want to use your Launcher in: Hard To Kill Launcher, Die-Hard Launcher or BulletProof Launcher. Choose Hard to Kill (HK), it is the best for our device.
You can add Maximum Multitasking mod as well, according to tests it works fine, but I did not install it in the beginning, then didn't bother
If follow the instructions in the script till the end, your services.jar should be patched, and the script will confirm this.
--- 4. On your phone in V6 script, you are still in the menu 25., right? Press x (exit), which takes you again to the Driver's Console. Choose: 32. SuperClean & ReStart! (ie. Wipe Dalvik Cache & Reboot)​
Step 5. Press enter to return to Drivers Console. Pressing enter will automatically run Quick V6 Cust-OOMizer and will calculate optimum SuperMinFree values
Apply SuperMinFree Calculator Settings? : y (Yes) to apply calculated MinFree (low memory killer - lmk) values so you don’t need to choose, but you can change it after completing the initial setup and then running the script again in menu point:
10. Quick V6 Cust-OOMizer.​Or if you type n (No), you can choose manually right away, doesn't make a difference. If it was set automatically, go to step 5. and come back later if you want to change it:
For a low memory device like ours, 512 HP recommended, these are the options in menu points:
5. UnLedded (Multitasking) {8,14,40,50,60, 75}
6. Ledded (Balanced) {8,14,55,70,85,100}
7. Super UL (Aggressive) {8,14,75,90,95,125} - it does 130-140MB​
However the best setting recommended me by educated colleague nikhil16242 and I tried is:
10 15 25 45 80 100 (slot1 - slot2 and so on)
with this I always have 120-130MB free RAM and no lag, Temple Run is butter smooth Basically it kills processes below that level (but still prioritises them - really smart script), which means less multitasking, but two-three apps that I needed in multitask were working perfectly, I didn't notice any difference, but snappier phone.
Try whichever suits you best.
Step 6. Press Enter - this action will backup Re-SuperCharger files to SD Card, in case you want to restore your Supercharger settings.
Step 7. SuperClean & ReStart : y (Yes), this will wipe your dalvik-cache so bootup time will take longer this time.
Step 8. After restart, open SManager and:
--- 1. Go to /system/etc/init.d (you can bookmark it for later access)
--- 2. Tap on S99SuperCharger and set the following properties:
------ a. Favorites (star icon)
------ b. Root (green android skull icon)
------ c. Start on Boot (gear icon)
--- 3. Tap on Save, close Script Manager and Restart your phone
NOTE:
If you don’t follow step 8., you will get an error the next time you run the script and it will show you owner’s handbook on your default web browser.
II. OOMIFIER & LAUNCHER
If you patched services.jar and choose SuperMinFree values manually then you have this already. If not, then:
OOM Grouping Fixes will determine which are the more priority apps and keeps them alive better. The Launcher mode determines how easy it will be for the mem killer to kill the launcher in case of low memory. Works flippin good, I'm tellin ya
Step 9. After restart, open SManager and Run V6_SuperCharger_for_AndroidX_XXX script again (make sure you run it in root [skull icon] but not boot [gear icon])
--- 1. SuperCharger will run Test Drive, just wait for it to finish and then continue to the Drivers Console.
During the install it should set the optimal mode automatically, which was BulletProof for me, probably because I chose the aggressive memory kill (sounds convincing lol) mode. Anyway, this means the Launcher will never get killed, about which some say it's not recommended.
--- 2. So on the Drivers Console you can choose between these launcher modes in the menu points, in reverse order of toughness:[/INDENT]
11. OOM Grouping Fixes + Hard To Kill Launcher
12. OOM Grouping Fixes + Die-Hard Launcher
13. OOM Grouping Fixes + BulletProof Launcher​Eventually I changed it to Hard To Kill, but it's up to you.
--- 3. Hard To Kill? : y (Yes) to apply
Press Enter to go back to Drivers Console
III. NITROLAG NULLIFIER
It's an experimental feature, don't know what it does exactly, but I switched it on Everything is flawless for me since, so I say go for it.
Step 10. In the Drivers Console, select:
21. Nitro Lag Nullifier {Experimental}​Enter (N)ullify, (U)n-Nullify, E(X)it: N (Nullify) to apply Nitro Lag Nullifier
After applying Nitro Lag Nullifier, press enter to go back to Drivers Console.
IV. 2 in 1 ENGINE FLUSH
It flushes the RAM cache so the phone doesn't get sluggish after days of usage.
The 2 Modes are: -=Fast Engine Flush=- for instant flush and -=Engine Flush-O-Matic=- for automation.
Step 11. In the Drivers Console, select:
17. Engine Flush-O-Matic {ReCoupe RAM Booster}​Continue and drop all file system caches? : y (Yes) to clear system cache on RAM
It will ask you (gives you 20 s to decide lol) if you want to automate it, so you don't need to schedule it in SManager. If yes, you set an interval between 1-24, which counts as hours, so it determines how frequently flushes the RAM cache. Some people set it for every hour, so why not, I did that too. Hmmm that was good
After Engine Flush, press enter to go back to Drivers Console.
V. SUPERCLEAN AND RESTART
Wipes dalvik and reboots the phone, you need that before you start to using it.
Step 12. In the Drivers Console, select:
30. SuperClean & ReStart {Wipe Dalvik & Reboot}​Do you want to SuperClean & ReStart now? : y (Yes)
VI. VERIFY SUPERCHARGER STATUS
Step 13. After restart, open SManager and run V6 SuperCharger again. You should see Supercharger Level: 100%, then you are good to go.
As the script rolls it indicates your settings so you know what is set and what's not. You can check out the other menu points, and number:
27. Owner's Guide {Open !SuperCharger.html}​This opens the... Owners Guide! ...in the default browser, you can wise yourself up about the different options.
VII. KICKASS KERNELISER
Downolad the script and launch it the same way as V6. Look at the text, wisen up and choose KickAss (k).
It will place S98KickAssKerneliser script in init.d, skull it and gear it, and reboot the phone.
TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING
If you are only 75% supercharged, that probably means MinFree (the mem killer) settings doesn't stick (so you see you have the usual low amount of free RAM). Check the S99Supercharger script in SManager if it has the root and boot privileges (In /system/etc/init.d or Long pressing recent apps button > Menu > Scripts), set them again if they were not and reboot the phone. If it's not set again, open Owner's Guide to figure out what's next, but if you followed the steps properly, you should be fine.
Check the note in the beginning of the post for deleting conflicting scripts!
All the scripts and backups are in two places:
1. on SD card /V6_SuperCharger folder
2. /data/V6_SuperCharger
and the logs and manuals under them.
When you run a script in SuperCharger, it places a separate one in the folders, so you can make widgets with SManager for fast access:
- Long press home screen, select SManager from widgets, locate the SuperCharger folder and select the script you want to have at hand.
- For example for quick change between MinFree modes, the scripts will be in V6SuperCharger/PowerShift_Scripts (you need to run them in SuperCharger first in order to be created separately, or if you installed the additional V6 scripts (or something like that) in nikhil16242's Customiser before, they will be in init.d already).
You'll know you have chosen a suitable MinFree mode if if you play Temple Run with no lags at all shaboooooom!!!!
See, wasn't too hard and you are SuperCharged now.
Enjoy it like a Boss!
Kudos to CarlDeanCatabay and Androidmarketuser for the guides that helped me and are in the OP.
And most of all to zeppelinrox for V6 SuperCharger :good:

Started reading looks great but by ekk I'm finding it hard to get my old head round some of it. Usually when I'm like this I have to read read read till it starts making sense .So will prolly take me a bit of time.

Re: [Script][TWEAKS] V6 Supercharger
This script is really awesome once you get everything done properly,just takes a while to read the entire OP though .
Ram management is another very essential thing to be done on a low ram device like ours.Stock ram management seems to be poor imo so I use this and the results are truely amazing .

guide updated

Hey guys, well actually i have an issue while i'm trying to run the v6 supercharger. It succesfully passes the drive test but it gets stuck at the next step. it throws me a lot of lines like 'find system/lost+found/ Too many open files' and i can't get rid of it, please help

this guide is quite old now, supercharger has been updated since numerous times. if you have a nandroid backup restore it, if not then ask zeppelinrox in his original thread. also supercharger does automatic backup before you apply the settings, which can be restored from the menu if something goes wrong, try it.

Working with su.d

Hi @Chainfire,
So, a while ago, I posted in the Liveboot thread inquiring as to how I'd go about incorporating liveboot into a ROM so that it could just run on first boot.
Your instructions were to chmod 0770 both the files and folders in su.d, and it should work:
If /system/su.d/0000liveboot.script exists (chmod 0644, not 0700 like other files in /system/su.d/ !), this script will be run instead of logcat and dmesg, and its output will be shown in white (stdout) and red (stderr).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
However, I tried this, and never got it to work, and essentially moved on to other stuff for a while.
Today, I tried to revisit it, and while I was at it, replace my current init.d stuff with su.d.
So, I created the folder in /system which gets copied with t he rest of the ROM on install. I'm setting folder and file permissions to 0700, owner and group to root, SE context to ubject_r:system_file:s0, which, is exactly the same as what I'm seeing on 0000liveboot when I look at it's info.
This leaves two questions.
One, the above quote you say to set it to 0644, but liveboot itself sets it to 0700 when it installs it.
Two, what is the trick to getting other scripts to work? In your "How to SU" guide, you mention this:
From versions 2.22 onwards, after the policies have been patched and the daemon is ready to go, all executables in the /system/su.d/ directory are executed (chmod 0700 both the directoy and the scripts), followed by setprop supolicy.loaded 1. This is akin to /system/(etc/)init.d/, though execution of those scripts is both kernel-dependent and they may run before the SELinux are patches and/or su is available.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Setprop supolicy.loaded. Where am I supposed to do that? You say execution of those scripts is kernel-dependent - you're referring to init.d, yes? So, again, what am I missing?
This is 5.0.1 GPE for M8VZW. I have selinux set to permissive via boot image in init.rc, and verify that "getenforce" returns "permissive" from shell.
Any help you could lend would be greatly appreciated - which is also why I'm posting this as a thread...because su.d sounds like an awesome idea, and I bet more devs would like to start using this method over init.d.
Thank!

liveboot sets the script that gets run by SuperSU to 0700. The script which I said to be set 0644 is a different script, and is not executed by SuperSU, but by liveboot.
Setprop supolicy.loaded. Where am I supposed to do that?

You don't. SuperSU sets this. Kernel developers can hook this event to run their own code.
You say execution of those scripts is kernel-dependent - you're referring to init.d, yes?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, not all kernels support init.d, and init.d stuff generally runs before SuperSU patches policies, so there's no guarantees about any SELinux state.
So, again, what am I missing?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't know. Make sure you are running the latest version of SuperSU (2.46 at the time of writing). Make sure /system/su.d is chmod 0700. Make sure the scripts you want to run are also chmod 0700 and #!'d to a working shell executable. Keep in mind that the scripts are called one-by-one, in a blocking way. So if a script never exits, the next script isn't run.

Deleted

Say I have SU v2.62. I have 2 files in my /system/su.d folder. The first file doesn't have an exit, neither does the second. The second file DOES get executed as it sets selinux to permissive at boot as directed. First file is 0700 (text file), second is 0755 (a .sh file).
Now, I want to take an init.d setprop script and try it via su.d.
1) Do the other files need exit commands?
2) What should the third file (setprop file) be set to, 0755? A .sh or text file?
3) Are the other two set to the correct chmod?
Thank you for any input!
EDIT: Left it as text, and 0755. No exits, and it worked?

Using su.d to disable doze
Is it possible to use su.d in order to load a script that disables Android doze mode?
I'm trying to run this script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
dumpsys deviceidle disable
Script file is located in root\su\su.d
Permissions are set to 0700.
However, script is not loaded automatically during the boot, because if I run the script manually in SManager I get a response Idle mode disabled, which means su.d script wasn't loaded.
Currenlty I use SManager to execute this doze disabling script automatically on every boot, but I wonder why wouldn't the same script work using su.d?
I use another su.d script that disables LED back-lights of hardware navigation buttons and the script works just fine.
I'm using SuperSU v2.82
Thanks for your input.

[Magisk][Module][Deprecated] Unified Hosts Adblocker

This mod has since been discontinued in favor of Adaway. Read on for information on how to use Unified Hosts with Adaway
What are Unified Host Files?
Unified host files combine many reputable sources into a single hosts file (with duplicates removed). Some examples include adaway, mvps, yoyo.org, and malware domain list (see Steven Black's page here for a complete list).
Adaway Installation for Magisk:
Adaway version 4.x now works properly with magisk systemless hosts. To enable it, just install the latest version from here (the main xda thread for it hasn't been updated for it yet). Then go to Preferences -> Enable systemless mode. This automatically enables the Systemless hosts option in magisk manager so no need to bother with that. Then use the app as normal.
How to Add Unified Hosts to Adaway:
In the adaway app, go to Preferences -> Redirection IP (NOT Allow Redirects). Change the value to 0.0.0.0. Read the readme on Steven Black's GitHub linked above for why.
Then go to Hosts Sources. Then add the url of the unified hosts you want (ONLY CHOOSE 1):

You can then uncheck the host sources already added by default to adaway since they're included in unified hosts sources already

Blocks ads by using Steven Black's Unified Hosts
Comes with a small utility based off of LarappsOfDongle's RP modular host module that allows you to choose which kind of host file you want (adware/malware, fakenews, gambling, porn, social, or any combination)
Installation
Go to Settings in Magisk Manager and enable 'Systemless Hosts'
Flash module
Open terminal and type:
Code:
su
hosts
Then follow the prompts to install the host file of your choice.
OR
- Open terminal and type:
Code:
su -c hosts arg1 arg2 arg3
- The script will apply your arguments all at once and close. Useful for automation purposes
- For example: `su -c hosts m wr b`
- Script will apply the master filter, then your regex whitelist, then your blacklist
Updating Hosts:
Just run the hosts file again in terminal and it'll overwrite the old one
Note: The script will now notify you to say if you need to update or not at the top of it
Disabling Host Mod:
Just toggle the enable systemless hosts option in magisk manager
Whitelist Instructions:
Create an empty file on sdcard card called "whitelist"
Either add exact lines you want remove to it -> Run hosts script and choose whitelist option
For example:
Code:
0.0.0.0 facebook.com
Will unblock facebook.com
Or add regex for lines you want removed -> Run hosts script and choose whitelist regex option
For example:
Code:
.*facebook.*
Will unblock all domains with "facebook" in them
Blacklist Instructions:
Create an empty file on sdcard card called "blacklist"
Add exact lines you want to remove it (do not include the 0.0.0.0 -> so for example: "facebook.com")
Run hosts script and choose blacklist option
For example:
Code:
google-analytics.com
Will block the google-analytics.com domain (it will add the entry "0.0.0.0 google-analytics.com" to the hosts file - note the lack of the 0's here. The script takes care of it automatically for the blacklist feature)
To Remove Whitelist:
Just run hosts script and reinstall host file of choice
Latest Magisk Version Compatibility:
15.x
Source
Can't Boot?
Try rebooting into the bootloader, then boot into system. Thanks @rignfool for the tip
Bonus!
I made a quick automate flow to update the hosts file. Just import it, add a shortcut to your home screen, and you can update it in one click
Just change the 2nd block to whatever options you want
@Didgeridoohan made a tasker profile here for any who use tasker: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73369050&postcount=451

How does this differ from AdAway?

The unified hosts file combine many sources including AdAway, mvps, malware domains, and more. Check out steve black's page in the op for a full list.
Also, for some reason, adaway wouldn't detect the systemless hosts file for me so i had to set a custom path and symlink it

Updated module for latest magisk manager update (required changes to the readme). Doesn't change the functionality of the module at all so if you're in 1.1, there's no need to upgrade since these readme changes will only be reflected in magisk manager once this module is approved into the repo.

Code:
su
Give root permissions
Code:
hosts
Program will prompt for input. For example, if you want malware/adware (master) + fakenews + gambling, you're input would be:
Code:
fg
The reason for not including the master (adware/malware) in the arguments is that it's already included by default in each host file. So the fakenews host file is actually master + fakenews. It's how steven set it up so I have no control over it (and who wouldn't want the malware block anyways)

Found a typo in the directions for the host file. Once again doesn't effect functionality at all but does eliminate confusion so uploaded fixed version (sorry)

I'm looking to execute as a one line shell command with tasker...
So I'm using 'su -c' cuz SU detection in tasker with magisksu is broken...
Then hosts... But I want to run with an argument so I don't need to interact with the script... Just have it update the hosts file...

I've never used tasker (use automate instead). Perhaps
su -c; hosts; sleep 1; fgps; sleep 2; q
Not sure if the sleep command works for tasker (linux thing) but if there's a way to have it wait a half a second or so before inputting the next command, and then waiting 2 seconds or so to quit after the hosts is applied (not sure on the time, just guessing).
Edit, just saw you didn't want to deal with the script. The 'hosts' command is the script. If you look my source for the hosts script, it lists each url for the file and what it does. So all of the terminal code for fgps would be:
Code:
su -c
cd /magisk/.core
wget -O hosts --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/fakenews-gambling-porn-social/hosts
This will replace the systemless hosts file with the one you want. Note you will at least need the wget portion of the module (system/bin) since it's not included in most roms

v1.3 update: Noticed that the disable option was broken so I removed it since it's not needed (see OP for disable instructions)

Using ze551ml, after rebooting, module disappeared. I can't find hosts command anywhere.

Does magisk manager say root is enabled? There's been an ongoing issue where root will disappear and so all modules will disappear as well. This isn't a module issue but a magisk issue

Automating hosts update?
Hi Zack!
Love your module, thank you!
Is there a way I can update with FG running a shell command from Tasker?
When I try
Code:
echo fg|hosts
it does download the fg file, but then it infinitely loops and never quits, until I send a CTRL-C to the terminal.
Could you please make it so hosts accepts arguments from the command line, instead of a menu?
Thank you!

The menu is part of the command line. I don't have tasker however, maybe this post will help: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71117156&postcount=9
You can circumvent running the script completely and just wget your host of choice. In that post, I have a link to the source for the hosts file with all of the urls. For fg for example, it would be: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/fakenews-gambling/hosts

As @Zackptg5 says, to automate with Tasker it's easier to just circumvent the script altogether...
I have a Tasker profile set up to fetch the hosts file directly from Steven Blacks GitHub and save it to /magisk/.core/hosts. I couldn't get wget to work properly with Taskers Run Shell, so I used the HTTP Get instead to fetch it to /sdcard and then Run Shell to move it to /magisk/.core/hosts (and to remove it from /sdcard afterwards).

Is there a possibility of whitelists?

In theory, you shouldn't need a white list with these hosts files. I chose them because they are gone over with a fine tooth comb so you shouldn't have any issues. However, when I get on spring break, I could attempt to add a whitelist option to the script. I was thinking the easiest way to do this would be to read a text file (would be a blank one in the module folder by default but is editable the uses to add whatever) and remove any matches from the host file. Have any better ideas to implement this? I have no experience with GUI development and that would add unnecessary overhead anyways

Does this module work currently? I disabled adaway and enabled this but it's not blocking ads that adaway blocks.
Testcase: root check by Jrummy
Adaway blocks the in app ads. This module does not
EDIT: apparently I can't read... Lol. Followed the Op and now it works great!

Neat module. It's working great! Thanks for sharing it!

I have a profile set up to do this every 12 hours. If you still need it, I updated it to use your preferred settings and exported it. All you need to do is import it in Tasker (long-press Profiles header) and turn it on.
